Burning Cds

[Adster]

yep thats exactly right its like ripping a iso image of teh cd and tehn burnign it it wont be any different

[Gutter]

well the track that I burned. Which I thought sounded "fuzzy"
is from the Underworld Soundtrack, and it seems it might just be the song
(distortion)

Anyone that has the track 18 - Various - The Icarus Line - On The Lash
give it a listen and let me know if it sounds somewhat distorted or the fuzzyness is just an effect the artist used.

If so then I suppose I did not loose any sound quality

If not then this crappy file will still not get shared

i just use nero.. works fine

[namzuf9]

I use matches works a lot better

[Gutter]

i use FreeRip for ripping and Nero for burning

How well does Nero Rip?

I would like to say that I am the topic starter, first of all, and secondly I do appreciate all the input, although I need to state my question once again.

It wasnt only answered incorrectly.... but requestioned incorrectly and again answered incorrectly.

Anyways, let me put this simply:

I am not referring to an MP3 I am talking striclty wav

The question is thus:

If I take a storebought prerecorded music cd and burn a cdr directly from that cd to the cdr.....

then.... I take that same store bought prerecorded music cd and rip it as a wav and then burn a cdr from that....

which finished product will be a replica or exact copy? The one that was ripped or the one that was burned from cd to cd? If there is a difference at all.

Thank you for your support

Software that allows you to copy "disk to disk" requires your pc to make a digital image of the file, a wav, which it stores in the buffer, then burns to the CDR.

Converting to wav, then burning the wav to CDR will result in the exact same end result.

I think you told me that before jibb... but i think you also mentioned something about copying from disc to disc not being as good or something to that effect. I did read it also somewhere. Any feed back on that?

Also, I am trying to get back on slsk. I dl the new client... but couldnt log in... so I copied all my config files and removed all the clients. Now I am going to try and load it all again. We shall see.

If you are ripping disk to disk, it shouldn't make a difference, providing your pc and burner are fast enough to do it smoothly on the fly. Most modern machines should be able to handle that without any trouble.

Good luck with SS, I'm taking a night off. Should have it back up in a few hours.

a .wav file is lossless.
Meaning, it has lost no audio data at all, which is why it's such a large format. If you rip a CD as .wav's, then burn them onto
another disc as an audio CD, you have an exact replica.
Digital media can be reproduced infinitely, with no quality loss, as long as you have the space for the uncompressed files.

^^ that was the answer, in the first reply.

all the big green text was completely unnecessary.
now...go poke a badger with a spoon.
